03 Dec 20 - 11:16 PM (#4081848) Subject: BS: Positive Thoughts Please From: SPB-Cooperator This morning my partner will be going to hospital for a routine procedure to replace her pacemaker battery. In fact the whole pacemaker is replaced. The procedure is non-evasive and carries next to no risk, but as in all procedures there is always that tiny percentage of risk. All going well, she will back home the same day after which she will need to avoid any physical exertion for a week or so to make sure that the apparatus has properly settled in place. |

Procedure my ass, its an operation. At least 5 people have to agree to work with a common purpose and order of events with mutually agreed precautions... OH you wanted positive thoughts... Everything will be fine. |

03 Dec 20 - 11:57 PM (#4081854) Subject: RE: BS: Positive Thoughts Please From: punkfolkrocker A few months ago, my 88 year old mum was taken to hospital after a fall. After other routine scans it was diagnosed she needed a pacemaker filled immediately. Family consent was a fast well informed no brainer. Obviously we were anxious. But we were more worried about covid infection before being discharged... Mum bounced back quickly, her dementia working to her advantage, as she couldn't even remember having any operation. She was fighting fit and cheerful well before the convalescence weeks were over.. Even happier at being told to avoid baths and showers while her scar healed... |

04 Dec 20 - 02:27 PM (#4081941) Subject: RE: BS: Positive Thoughts Please From: punkfolkrocker The hospital issued my mum with a mobile phone-like pacemaker monitor transmitter to keep by her bedside.. I'm surprised she still hasn't unplugged, and lost it somewhere in or outside her home... |
